Brentford are one of several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Brighton, that have dispatched scouts to observe Rennes' French and Ivorian striker Mohamed Kader Meite in recent weeks. Crystal Palace are leading the pursuit for the 18-year-old and made an enquiry this month. The player has also received a €40 million offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal. However, he is understood to be unconvinced that a move there is the right step for his career and believes a summer transfer is a more realistic scenario. Meïté, who has 3 caps for France U21, is under contract with the French club until June 2028. In the current Ligue 1 season, he has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 16 appearances. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €10.00m.
